Overview

La Trobe College Australia runs General English at La Trobe University’s Melbourne campus in Bundoora. This is the university campus option, rather than a Melbourne CBD language-school location. It suits students who want to build everyday communication skills in a university setting and may be considering further study. Social outings and recreational activities offer opportunities to use conversational English outside class. When choosing where to live, compare the Bundoora commute with the option of a room on campus. The College’s accommodation guide describes the wider Bundoora campus as a place where students can live alongside their studies. Options include studios and shared apartments, with on-site student leaders providing peer support. That makes campus living worth comparing if you prefer to combine English with university life and want to limit the commute. The College also lists residential activities spanning sport, health and student wellbeing.

Courses

The General English Program has a five-week minimum and lists intakes every five weeks, subject to availability. Teaching is scheduled Monday to Thursday, 9 am to 3 pm. That is the timetable window; it should not be read as six contact hours per day. General English builds foundational language skills, while English for Further Studies and advanced IELTS preparation are listed separately. Ask which level will run on your preferred start date and check any progression requirement for your onward course.

Fees

The published 2026 tuition rate is AUD 515 per week. Five weeks of tuition come to AUD 2,575, or AUD 2,795 including the AUD 220 enrolment fee. The college separately lists an AUD 290 homestay placement charge. If that service is used, the identified charges total AUD 3,085 before homestay rent. This is a subtotal for the shortest course, not a housing-inclusive quote. Obtain a room rate for the full dates and check travel, airport pickup and any applicable health cover separately. The College’s main 2026 fee schedule also lists AUD 515 per week for English for Further Studies and Advanced IELTS Preparation. These are distinct courses, so confirm whether a later course would be part of the same enrolment and how it would be billed. At the General English rate, ten teaching weeks would be AUD 5,150 in tuition, or AUD 5,370 if one AUD 220 enrolment fee applies. The academic calendar lists orientation dates and cycle breaks separately. A room contract may therefore cover more calendar days than the number of teaching weeks used for the tuition calculation.

Accommodation

The Melbourne homestay service specifies a furnished single room and a four-week minimum. Breakfast and dinner are provided daily, with lunch added on Saturdays and Sundays. The college also lists on-campus residential colleges with optional catering and some short stays from three nights, subject to the time of year and availability. Off-campus rental and shared housing are other options. Confirm the room type, bathroom, catering, and total contract cost against the five-week class calendar. The College describes university rooms in studios and shared apartments. Campus residential places are limited, so check directly whether a short contract is available for your intake.
